Upon hearing Eri Kisaki's words, sweat poured profusely down Mu Tianyuan's and Little Fox's heads. Then Mu Tianyuan looked at Little Fox and sighed with emotion: "I've seen plenty of unreliable people, but this is truly the first time I've seen someone so utterly unreliable…"

"Indeed. So let's thank this foolish woman. Thanks to her, we found a place to stay…" Little Fox's gaze softened considerably towards Eri Kisaki, who was now complaining about Kogoro Mouri. As a model fox who understood propriety and gratitude, Little Fox was genuinely grateful to Eri Kisaki. To express his gratitude to Eri Kisaki, Little Fox said: "To express my thanks for her saving us at a crucial moment, I've decided: from now on, I'll never call her a foolish woman again!"

Mu Tianyuan: "Your gratitude carries a lot of weight…"

When Eri Kisaki drove to the foot of the Mouri Detective Agency building, Mu Tianyuan saw from afar a young girl with what looked like horns growing from her head standing downstairs. Even from a side view, Mu Tianyuan instantly recognized this girl as the protagonist of this world, Ran Mouri!

Because no one else had that hairstyle except Ran!

When Eri Kisaki parked the car, Mu Tianyuan, holding Little Fox, followed Eri Kisaki out. After Ran greeted Eri Kisaki, Ran smiled at Mu Tianyuan with an excited expression, like an old friend reunited: "Little Mu, long time no see!"

"Uh, long time no see…" Although Mu Tianyuan knew from his memories and Eri Kisaki's words that he and Ran had been childhood playmates, if he were to speak truthfully, this was the first time he'd seen the living Ran! So, at this moment, Mu Tianyuan stared at the smiling Ran, unsure what to say. He racked his brain, trying to recall his memories of this world and his impressions from the anime, and after a long while, he finally managed to blurt out: "Ran, your horn seems to have grown bigger again…"

"Uh…" Hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, Ran's expression instantly froze, then she said helplessly: "Little Mu, you're saying strange things again…"

"My apologies, I was purely excited. Just pretend you didn't hear that," Mu Tianyuan knew his words seemed problematic, so he chuckled awkwardly and waved at Ran. Then, after thinking for a moment, he smiled and asked: "So, Ran, have you and Kudo the Washing Machine gotten together?"

Eri Kisaki: "..."

Upon hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, Ran's face flushed red, and she looked at Mu Tianyuan with wide, blank eyes: "Little Mu, what nonsense are you spouting again?! Shinichi and I are just… just…"

"Mhm mhm, no need to say it, I know, I know." Mu Tianyuan nodded at Ran with a serious expression, then turned to Eri Kisaki and said earnestly: "Aunt Eri, although you're busy with work, you can't neglect matters concerning your daughter. You must keep a close eye on Ran; you absolutely cannot let that arrogant brat from the Kudo family trick Ran into running off now!"

"Little Mu!" Ran, who was always known for her gentle and virtuous demeanor in front of outsiders, successfully broke character…

Eri Kisaki, at this moment, began to seriously ponder. Perhaps I really should pay more attention to my daughter? What if my precious daughter really gets tricked into running off by that arrogant brat from the Kudo family right now? What would I do?

After this playful exchange, Mu Tianyuan took the opportunity to introduce Little Fox to Ran to divert Ran's attention. His trick was very effective. At the very least, Ran was instantly smitten the moment she saw Little Fox. She completely forgot Mu Tianyuan's previous words and happily reached out to hug Little Fox. Unfortunately, Little Fox was quite uncooperative, directly leaping onto Mu Tianyuan's head and glaring at Ran, baring its teeth. While threatening Ran to keep her distance, Little Fox also grumbled: "They really are mother and daughter, aren't they?! That look in their eyes is clearly inherited, isn't it? Otherwise, why do they all treat me like a dog? I'll say it again, I'm a fox, not a dog!"

Mu Tianyuan, while comforting Little Fox, explained Little Fox's species to Ran. After another round of pleasantries, Eri Kisaki suggested they go eat. Mu Tianyuan had originally thought he could use this opportunity to meet Kogoro Mouri, the future famous detective who would achieve fame through his son-in-law's cheat code. But who knew Eri Kisaki was very direct and planned to take them straight away. Mu Tianyuan and Ran suggested taking Kogoro Mouri along, but Eri Kisaki flatly stated that since Detective Mouri was already drunk, he should just rest well. Looking at Eri Kisaki's almost unreadable face (like Bao Zheng's), Ran and Mu Tianyuan exchanged glances and wisely shut their mouths…

After dinner, Eri Kisaki drove Mu Tianyuan to his home—a two-story house, not particularly large but not small either, plus a yard. This was Mu Tianyuan's new dwelling. After opening the door and looking around, Mu Tianyuan nodded in satisfaction: "I thought it would be a haunted house after so many years of no one living here, but I didn't expect it to be so clean."

Eri Kisaki, hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, smiled and said: "Actually, that's because your mother told me you were coming back to Tokyo a few days ago, so I had someone clean it."

After hearing Eri Kisaki's words, Mu Tianyuan thanked her again, and then Eri Kisaki and Ran, mother and daughter, took their leave. After seeing Ran and her mother off, Mu Tianyuan strolled around the house with Little Fox in his arms, then leaned on the windowsill, gazing at Tokyo's nightscape while speaking to Little Fox: "I feel like something's off."

"What's off?" Little Fox asked curiously, hearing Mu Tianyuan's words. Mu Tianyuan, staring at the unfamiliar nightscape, replied: "When I saw Ran, I immediately felt very familiar with her, but not in the way you feel familiar from watching an anime, you know?"

"So you can joke with her?" Little Fox immediately understood what Mu Tianyuan meant and asked curiously. Mu Tianyuan nodded: "Exactly! This isn't how you're supposed to feel when meeting someone for the first time."

"Perhaps it's your inexplicable memories playing tricks on you? Mu, stop overthinking it. It's not harming you, is it?" Little Fox pondered for a moment and offered an explanation. Mu Tianyuan thought about it and decided to accept Little Fox's explanation. Anyway, as Little Fox said, it didn't seem to be harming him, so why dwell on it?

The next morning, after picking out some money from his suitcase to buy food and drinks and sending them home, Mu Tianyuan also took some gifts to visit the Mouri Detective Agency. He finally saw with his own eyes Kogoro Mouri, who had forgotten him at the station but would later become famous thanks to his son-in-law's cheat code. Kogoro Mouri was actually feeling guilty about his oversight, but after Mu Tianyuan presented him with a few bottles of wine, Kogoro Mouri became even more affectionate. Afterwards, Mu Tianyuan also met up with Sonoko Suzuki and Shinichi Kudo, whom he had supposedly grown up with. After a meal and some idle chatter, Mu Tianyuan returned home with Little Fox in his arms. Little Fox, after leaping onto the sofa, asked while scratching its ears: "So these are the protagonist and main supporting characters you mentioned in this world? And those childhood playmates you talked about yesterday, who grew up playing with pee and mud?"

Yesterday, Mu Tianyuan had told Little Fox everything he knew, both about the plot and his fragmented memories. Today, after spending a day with Mu Tianyuan, Little Fox didn't find anyone particularly special. In Little Fox's eyes, Kogoro Mouri was just a perverted uncle, Shinichi Kudo was an arrogant brat, and Sonoko was a bit of a lovesick fool.

One must say, Little Fox's observations were surprisingly accurate…

"Indeed," Mu Tianyuan chuckled, then pulled out a bottle of water from the fridge, took a sip, and sighed: "I never thought I'd actually become childhood friends with Shinichi Kudo. This world is truly amazing."

"You can brag about it when you go home in a month," Little Fox lazily replied, rolling around on the sofa. Mu Tianyuan was about to nod but then changed to shaking his head: "No way, if I go back and brag, no one will believe me. I might even end up getting electroshock therapy."

Mu Tianyuan, a graduate from many years ago, once again donned his backpack and returned to school. The only difference was that the school was now a Japanese high school. Mu Tianyuan had complained about this more than once to Little Fox, and the two of them had even had many discussions about whether this counted as studying abroad or repeating a grade.

However, returning to school, Mu Tianyuan faced a very serious problem: he couldn't understand the Japanese textbooks at all!

Originally, Mu Tianyuan thought that since he had, after all, endured the grueling college entrance exam and successfully entered a top university, even if he had forgotten a lot of knowledge after years of graduation, his foundation was still there, right? So, going back to high school now, wouldn't it be easy to become a top student?

But reality mercilessly slapped Mu Tianyuan across the face. He couldn't even understand the textbooks; how was he supposed to be a top student? This discovery left Mu Tianyuan depressed for a full five minutes. Mu Tianyuan was puzzled, Why do the people around me inexplicably speak in standard, articulate Mandarin, yet the textbooks are in Japanese? If their spoken language has changed to Mandarin, why can't the written language change too?

After pondering for a long time, Mu Tianyuan and his fox strategist discussed the issue for the duration of a meal. Mu Tianyuan finally felt he had found the truth: he had inexplicably transmigrated into the Mandarin-dubbed version of Conan that he was reviewing at home right before he transmigrated! Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense!
